MakerBot Thingiverse, threw down the gauntlet to all 3D designers to see who could come up with the best 3D birdhouse. I am glad that I did not have the time to enter into it, as this design just blew everyone away. ErikJDurwoodII you are a genius! the American Craftsman Bungalow Birdhouse Created by ErikJDurwoodII My entry for the Thingiverse BIrdhouse Challenge. the American Craftsman Bungalow Birdhouse! This birdhouse features two entrances, upper ventilation through the chimney and windows as well as sloped drains in the base...
Another revolutionary product. A hand held scanner packed with sensors that enables anyone to conduct sophisticated physical exams — in a snap. Simply place the Scanadu Scout™ to the forehead. As if it is reading your mind, the Scanadu Scout™ detects problems early. It potentially decreases hospital readmissions, and the costs of managing chronic conditions for patients and insurance companies alike. Yep, all that just by placing it on your forehead. Imagine all the other possibilities. See the company video here ~ Scanadu...
"We promised an update on hardware and here it is. We’ve been playing with the pre-production prototype for a close to a week now and thought we’d post some images and thoughts on it. It’s really exciting to have the new design in person and play with it. What you see in these photos is very close to what you will get. It’s really rigid, precise, looks super smooth, and moves really well. It’s even better than we expected!...
Now that the team at Photon HQ have a new software developer (and this guy is working 15 hours a day) a completely new way to mesh a 3D object has been designed, you can read more here. Thanks for the update guys. What will you print today
We guess the guys and girls at the Robo 3D workshop are really getting down to the nitty gritty of manufacturing on a larger scale, yet they still have had time to create their online manual for the Robo 3D desktop printer. You can access it here online. September is approaching fast. What will you print today
[fvplayer src='http://3dfilaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Kill-It-With-Fire-3D-Printed-Spider-Robot-on-Prochan-com.mp4' autoplay=false] Ok, now i'm not that squeamish, unless its a daddy long leg and that's then takes us to a whole new dimension of fear. But when I saw this (Thanks Dave E) and I managed to pull myself out from under the bedclothes I was both impressed and marvelled at the sheer brilliance of the work and so it became my choice. What will you print today (not that I will print it though - but your more...
Last week our Bendlay 3D filament arrived from Orbi-Tech, Germany. We spent over a week just trying to think of what we would be printing with it. As it was a bendable material we decided we would print the sleeve holder on thingiverse, you can download it from here. Instead of creating a long write up we decided to create a video and post it on our YouTube channel, you can watch the video here, please make any comments and...
